This Company is established for the purpose of purchasing the property and continuing the business of the well known Oxford and Canterbury Dingle Hal's. so suxessinlly con ducted by the present proprietor, Mr. Charles Morton. for several years pa t. P ub The Directors, in bringing the present Company before the lic, are nor inviting s , bscripti ns to an unknown or un tried venture, but to an established and highly remunerative u ndertaking, and one which, w ith th e a dditi ona l means a t command of a Joint-stock Company, may be made still more so. An agreement has been entered into for the purchase of the Whole of Mr Morton's interest in these properties, tozether With the goodwill of the business and the stock in trade, on terms highly advantatteous to the Company, and in order to a llow his confidence in its future succe-s, he has subscribed for one-fourth of the entire capital, and will continue for some years the manager. It is the intention of the Company to increase the hotel accommodation, which has hitherto been found inadequate, and thus materially add to the present large returns. i here 1 8 also an excellenr private wine trade attached to both establishments, which is capable of considerable extension. It is impossible to show, with certainty, by any statistics, the returns which may be expected from the present under taking, but the certified accounts for the 'apt three years show an annual profit of upwards of 20 per cent. upo the whole amount of capital, wh chit is contemplated eventually to call up, The I Tesent average attendance at the Oxford and Canter bury M sic Halls is about 60,n03 a mcnth, and the proposed ension of bu.dness will doubtless render the profits of the tm ertaking still more remunerative than ever. One half of the capita has been already applied for, and applications for the remainder houl I be made to the bankers of the Compahy. accompanied by a deposit of £1 per share ; If no allotment hi , made he deposit will be returned. Pros ectuses and forms of applicati n for shares may be obtained at tine Oxford and the Canterbury, at the Brokers, and at the Temporary Offic s of the Company.

WASIIINGTON, July S. Secretary Welles has sent to Captain Winslow of the Kearsage the following recognition of his ser• vices in the destruction of the pirate Alabama : " Naval Department, July 6. " Sir,—Your very brief despatches of the 19th and 20th ult., informing the department that the piratical craft Alabama, or 290,' had been sunk on the 19th of June, near meridian, by the Kearsage, under your command, were this day received. I congratulate you on your good fortune in meeting this vessel, which had so long avoided the fastest ships and some of the most vigilantand intelligent officers of the service, and for the ability displayed in this combat yon have the thanks of the depart ment. You will please express to the officers and crew of the Kearsage the satisfaction of the Govern ment at the victory over a vessel superior in tonnage, superior in number of guns, and superior in the number of her crew. The battle was so brief, the victory so decisive, and the comparative results so striking, that the country will be reminded of the brilliant actions of our infant navy, which have been repeated and illustrated in this engagement. " The Alabama represented the best maritime effort of the most skilled English workshops. Her battery was composed of the well-tried 32-pounders of 57 cwt., of the famous 68-pounder of the British navy, and of the only successful rifled 100-pounder, yet produced in Rigland. The crew were generally recruited in Great Britain, and many of them re ceived superior training on board her Majesty's gunnery ship Excellent. " The Kearsage is one of the first gunboats built at our navy yards at the commencement of the re bellion, and lacks the improvements of vessels now under construction. Tee principal guns composing her battery had never been previously tried in an exclusively naval engagement ; yet in one hour you succeeded in sinking your antagonist, thus fitly ending her predatory career, and killing many of her crew, without injury to the Kearsage or the loss of a single life on your vessel. Our countrymen have reason to be satisfied that in this, as in every naval action of this unhappy war, neither the ships, the guns, nor the crews have been deteriorated, but that they maintain the ability and continue the re nown which ever adorned our naval annals. The President has signified his intention to re commend that you:receive a vote of thanks in order that you may be advanced to the grade of Commo dore. Lieutenant-Commander James A. Thornton, the executive officer of the Kearsage, will be recom mended to the Senate for advancement ten numbers in his grade, and you will report to the department the names of any others of the officers or crew whose good conduct on the occasion entitles them to especial attention.—Very respectfully, " GIDEON WELLES, Secretary of the Navy. Captain. John A. Winslow, U.S. Navy, Commanding U.S. steamer Keareage, Cherbourg, France." The Murderer of Mr Briggs. To allay the excitement which prevails in regard to the pursuit of the supposed murderer, Francis \hiller, it may be stated, that it is exceedingly pro bable that no news will be received for a month or five weeks. The Victoria was last seen off St. Katharine's Point, Isle of Wight, on Saturday Afternoon. The wind was then favourable for her. oLo vas. • 00 F .acra.us“ v. Ti.tv (NA Washington, having the detectives and some of the witnesses as to Mailer's identity on board, will, it is thought, pass her at sea; but it is not considered it all likely that the Victoria will be boarded. Tae officers will proceed on to New York, where they will await the arrival of the ship. In case of any mishap occurring to the City of ‘Vashington, the Government have determined upon sending out dupl:cates of the warrants by another steamer, which leaves Liverpool on Saturday, and which it is considered possible may reach New York before the Victoria. _ _ _ The average time occupied in a run from the Thames to New York is nineteen or twenty days. If the Victoria takes that time, the arrest and the return voyage will occupy twelve days more; and, therefore, Mailer cannot be brought back to England before the end of August. Muller's conduct while he has been in England has been ascertained to have been that of a well- conducted man. His manners are described as being good and even gentlemanly. Mr. Hodgkinson, of Threadneedle-street, for whom he worked for two months, speaks favourably of him, and Mr. cnd :qrs. Blyth, with whom ho lodged, never conceived ne could have been the perpetrator of so ferocious a crime. Ho was never known to be in liquor ; he generally returned home straight from his work ; and it is said that he never frequented public houses. He quitted Mr. Hodgkinsou's service on The Saturday previous to the murder of his own action, on account of some slight difference as to time. He used to work all day on the shop-board at the back of the premises in Thread needle-street, along with another workman, a Ger man like himself, named Hen. Whether he got any other employ during the week which elapsed between the time of his discharging himself and the day of the murder does not appear. On the night of the murder he let himself into the nouse in Old Ford-road, Bonner's-fields, by means of a latch-key, at about eleven o'clock. Mr Blyth, being in bad health, had already gone to bed, as had the rest of the family likewise. - Muller lighted candle, and went up ataire to bed. Nothing was neard either that night or subsequently to excite a .aapicion that anything was wrong. He came down to breakfast as usual on the Sunday morning, and the family observed nothing the matter with his clothes which led them to think that they had been washed or that he bad been in a struggle or row. He had previously intimated to Mrs Blytb his in tention to try to get to New York or to Canada, where he said he had some friends; and he had introduced to her his shopmate Heffa to succeed him as a lodger in the room which he occupied. On the Monday after the murder Heffa came to the house, and slept there that right. It was on the Monday afternoon that Mr and Mrs Blyth saw Muller had got a new watchchain, and she jocularly remarked, " Some people get on in the world. Ido not know how they do it." Muller made no reply to the remark, but said that he had bought the chain. She saw that he had a watch, but she had no opportu nity ot looking at it closely. From that time until the Thursday when he left the country she observed no alteration in his manners. She had no rqeollee tion of the subject of the murder having been alluded to by him. Ho complained of a sprain io and he wore a slipper, in which he w alked into e th town ; but he had the sprain, an d be wore slipper before the day of the murder. She . s posi tive upon this point, and 3 ShoPalate H e ft I corroborates her in the maw. I preserver.

The Relief of the Casual and Vagrant Poor, At a meeting of the elected vestry at the perish of St. Mary, Lambeth, held last evening •st the Vestry Hall, Kennington-green, presided over by Mr Robert Taylor, Mr F. DOULTON, M.P., called the attention of tha vestry to a measure recently introduced into the House of Commons by the President of the Poor law Board, the object of which was to throw upon .the Metropolitan Board of Works the payment of the expenses connected with a certain class of poor relieved by the metropolitan parishes. The bill provided that each parish should keep an account of the amount of relief afforded by it to the casual or vagant poor between the hours of eight o'clock in the evening and eight o'clock in the morning, and that on their presenting a certified account of the same to the Metropolitan Board of Works, the latter should pay the same out of the General Purposes Fund connected with it. He had nothing to say against the principle of the measure, which. he considered good, as it was the first step towards, their obtaining an equalisation of the poor rat , e over all the parishes, which he was sure they all ! s o much desired. (Hear, hear.) But at the same tiz ae there was a peculiarity attached to the meas a re, which was this—the only fund for general purry, see which the Metropolitan Board had the power of raising was what was called the sewers rate, which was a tax upon the owners of property, so t hat by placing upon that fund this additional burdien, they would be placing upon the owners of property that which was at present paid by the occupiers. lie did not mean to cavil about any great additional burden it would be upon the sewers rate, but what he hesitated at was the changing of the principle of taxation from occupiers to owners. It was, he believed, the intention of the Metropolitan Board to apply to Parliament next session, by means of a new bill, or: a clause introduced into an cld one, for power tote levy a rate for the payment of their expenses otb.er than that of the sewers rate, and the charge he I.)a d referred to would come legitimately upon that fund. In the meantime, however, he had considered it proper to bring the matter before the vestry, and. to ascertain their opinion respecting it. Mr. FOWLER moved, " That the vestry request their representatives in the House of Commons to give the measure their support." Mr. SWEET having seconded the motion, Mr. RHODES expressed his approval of the mews sure. Mr. GILES complained of being asked to give their assent to the measure without having seen it. He understood that at a meeting of the - Marylebone, Vestry it had been strongly objected to, and h thought, therefore, they should have time to coup. eider the matter. The CHAIRMAN proposed that the matter should wait for further consideration. After some conversation the Chairman's sngges• tion was adopted, Mr. Fowler's motion having been withdrawn, and the matter dropped. The CHAIRMAN, in reference to the inspection of the main drainage works on Monday and Tuesday next by the different metropolitae vestries, under the superintendence of the Board of Works, said that ample arrangements had been made for con. veying the parties to the works by steamers which would take up at the different piers, from Hunger.. ford downwards. It was expected that about 2,000 gentlemen wonld join in the inspection, end ar, ran gements had also been mr de by the refreshment department for the members of each vestry having a compartment for themselves. The .Accident on the Great Eastern Raili.vays IlAnwica, Thursday Evening. To-day the investigation into the circumstances of tho accident to the ito:terdam train on the Harwich branch of the Great Eastern 11.1ilway, in which the engine and carriages were thrown down the embankment, and the fireman, William Wright, killed, and several of the passengers moreor less injured, was resumed before Mr W. Codd, coroner for Essex, in the National School-house, Bracfi:4ld. Joseph Wright said that ho was guard of the train to which the accident happened. on Wednes day, the 13th inst. The train left Harwich for London at 2.51. The time of starting depended on that of the arrival of the steamer from Rotterdam. The train went on steadily at the rate of about 30 miles an hour, until it arrived within three-quarters of a mile of Bradfield, when it suddenly left the rails, and the engine and carriages tumbled down the embankment. The speed did not seem to him to be greater than usual. Captain Farley, who was driving by at the time, examined the line to sec how the accident had occurred, and wits nese saw him pull one of the keys out from between the rails and the chairs with his fingers. Somo of them were loose, and one was rotten, but none were out. Bat those were towards London, on a part of the line Which the train had not reached. Witness had not seen the engine "jump" off the rails. He was quite satisfied that it had not jumped. When the carriage was thrown off the line he was pitched off his seat. James Fisher, platelayer, said he had examined the line on the morning in question, and it was then in perfect condition. Eight trains passed after the line was examined before the Rotterdam train. The Coroner asked whether the lino was examined after the passing of a train. Mr Robertson said that a railway was kept in such perfact working order that the passage of one train over it could make no impression on it, and therefore it was not necessary to examine it after every passage. Witness said that he had three miles of lines to inspect, and he found it safe in every respect. It was common to find the keys loose, in consequence of their being shrunk up from the beat of tha weather. By Col. Yolland—There were seven sleepers to 18 feet. In April all the sleepers were not renewed, only those that were decayed. The old sleepers that were suffered to remain were fastened where the y needed it with iron spikes, a nd not with trenails as el on the before. The new chairs w ere also secured b y pae ans of iron spikes. For th ree or four years p as t it had i b r e o e n n s f p o i u k n e d s . Th e witness, i n a nswer to Colon necessary to r eplace treuails of Wood by Yolland, said that the traffic bad been greatly increased line during the last six months, and in consequence new bleepers had been put down, and instead of one man per mile being employed, there were ten or twelve. Colonel Yolland said that the speed seemed to be s poken of as excessive. Tim Coroner said that, assuming 1 have been even 1 te Epecd to forty miles ailh it our, the rate could not he called cxceE , sive, for if . ti avei sa t. were so, no one could i 13? by an express at ncaL) -, , double the pace. G3lonel Yolland said that everything depended on the state of the line, Mr I.ti)b - ertsou said that the actual ditifar.ca from Harwich to the plaeo of the accident was fluty 7; miler!, end Kventeen minutes were occupied in, getting over the groLtad. The rate was remarkably moderate. After other evidence, The Coroner said that Col. Yollaud had not as yet had sufficient time to take a ll the circumstances of the occurrence into conside.tation before making his report as to the cause of the accident. The court would therefore now adjourn. The proceedings were e.djourtird aceoruiogly.

But it was evident no skill, however great, could do more than prolong the life of the poor man, whose sufferings were very great. The bullet, avoiding the heart, had passed through the lungs, and the occasional fits of cough ing produced I - ternorrage, were most distressing to listen to, though for a few minutes the btrength of the medical men feeble hopes that he might rally. His wife, to whom it appeared he had been very recently married, was telegraphed for, and Cooper was assured before she arrived that if anything happened to him she should be provided for. Lord Dufferin drove some distance to meet her on the way, and prepare her for the scene she was about witness. About seven o'clock he returned with the poor woman and her sister. In the meantime a clergyman in camp had ♦olunteered his cervices, which were cheerfully accepted, end the wounded man enjoyed, as well as his state would permit, the conso:ations of religion. He, as well as Sergeant- Major Roberts, by whom the shot was fired, were men enjoying the highest character in the regiment. The latter has for some time held the responsible post of musketry-instructor to the Coldstream Guards, and in that capacity has taken part in organising numberless rifle meetings in different parts of the country. According to his statement he aimed loft to the right of the target. The bullet mark. from subsequent examination, was what would be called a high centre to the right. Roberts, upon whom the occurrence naturally produced a terrible impression, was removed to town to await the deci sion of the military authorities. In camp all firing at the range where the accident occurred was sus pended, the bands stopped playing, and whatever had been contemplated in the nature of festivities for that evening was abandoned. It was felt, how ever, that it would not be fair to stop what must be regarded as a national movement on account of such a mishap, and firing was accordingly continued till the usual hour at all the other ranges. Dr Pres cott Hewett, of St George's Hospital, who had been telegraphed for immediately the event occurred, aw Cooper at a late hour, and his report was that the case was hopeless.

Naval and Military Intelligence. The summer inspection of the Ist (Chatham) Division of Royal Marine Light Infantry, which commenced on Wed- nesday, was continued yesterday by Major Gen, A. B. Stransham, Inscector•General, Royal Marines, who was accompanied by Lieut.-Col. G. B, Rodney, Assistant-Ad jutant-General, and Capt. J. C. Travers, Aide-de-Camp_ On the occasion of the first day's inspection the whole of the men of the division vita naa comptetad their drill anu were returned fit for battalion duty, to the number of about 700 of all ranks, were marched to Chatham Great Lines, under the command of Col.-Commandant T. Lemon, C.B Notwithstanding the great heat of the weather, the whole of the men were in heavy marching order, and each man, in addition to his kit, carried 15 rounds of blank cartridge. The division having been formed in line, Gen. Stransham, accompanied by his staff, rode to the front, and was received with a general salute and colours lowered. Preparations were then made for a course of field-day manoeuvres, and on the Inspector-General taking his stand at the flagstaff the entire division gave the customary march-pest, in slow and quick time, in open and closed columns of companies. This was the least satisfactory i_ortion of the day's manoeuvres, and for once the Royal Marines lid not sustain their well-earned reputation for almost faultless marching. The great heat of the weather, with the equipment of the men, was the cause of this—and, indeed, in proof of the effect the weather had on th 3 battalion it may be mentioned that at least a dozen of the men fell out of the ranks during the inspection, overcome by the heat. At the termination of the marching past the flank companies threw out their skirmishers for repelling a supposed attacking force, and in the course of a few minutes the entire battalion advanced and were supposed to be engaged with the enemy. At the same time a variety of interesting movements were performed, in which the offi cers and man of the division acquitted themselves in a highly satisfactory manner. Major-Gen. Stranshatu afterwards inspected the officers in the bayonet exercise. At the close of the inspection Major-Gen. Stransham addressed the officers and men of the battalion, and expressed his satisfac tion at the highly efficient state of the division. Although he had not observed the customary steadiness in the ranks during the marching past, yet he c uld make some allow ance for the great disadvantage under which non-commis sioned officers and men laboured from the intense heat of the day. Yesterday morning the Inspector General inspected a wing of the division in the barrack-square, and saw the va rious officers of companies go through their company drill. At 12 o'clock the whole of the officers were assembled on the parade ground, where they went through the broad. sword exercise. Tho remainder of the day was devoted by Gen. Stransham to an inspection of the books and accounts, together with an inspection of the offices, barrack-rooms, the non-commissioned officers' and privates' library and reading rooms, and the schoolrooms. At 3 o'clock the detachment of 70 non-commissioned officers and men who are now undot going a course of gun drill with the great guns were marched to the gun shed battery, where Major General Stransham spent same time in witnessing the great gun exercise, under the direction of Captain Bligh, the instructor to the division. The expeditious manner in which the Arrastrongs, with the naval 68-pounders and other guns, were cast loose, brought round, trained, and fired, showed the proficiency attained by the Royal Marines in this important portion of their duties. On Wednesday evening Major-Gen. Stransham was entertained by Col. Lemon, C. 8., and the officers of the division at a grand banquet, which was given in the officers' mess-room. In consequence of the urgent demand made by the officers commanding the Royal Engineers in New Zealand for an additional number of men to be sent out to augment the 6th company. now serving in that colony, an order has been received by Major-General H. Eyre, commanding the forces in the Chatham district directing h m to hold in readiness two officers and 30 non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Engineers for immediate embarcation. The men required have been selected from the depot and other companies at headquarters, Brompton, the whole of them having completed their course of fieldwork instruction to qualify them for taking the field immediately on their arrival at their destination. The names of the non-com missioned officers and men have been forwarded to the Horso Guards for approval. and, as soon as the selection has been confirmed, they will embark.

Twice the English eight had carried off the honours of this match, and at last a despondent conviction was growing up on the Scottish side that the area from which their competitors could be drawn was much too limited that in th itedin come present with England.: It was known instance the composition of their eight was, if anything, stronger than on for mer occasions, and that the English side did not feel altogether confident of the result. Still the issue of the International Enfield Matoh,where their chances were apparently as good, had damped their wee• tations concerning the small bore competition. And hence the joy and satisfaction with which the vic tory, long coveted, wes bailed on its acitual attain ment. The prcspects of the struggle fluctuated very much at different periods of the day. When a pause was made for lunch the Scotch were a few points ahead, but at the close of the firing at 800 yards the English were 11 in advance, the numbers being 367 to 356. At the 900 yards' range the Scotch made their great recovery. It was not perhaps that there was any visible improvement in their shooting, so much as a falling off in that of their antagonists Capt. Heaton, who had been literally making bull's yes at will all through the previous portion of the meeting, at this range only succeeded in scoring 19. Lord Bury, whose favourite rifle had been disabled the previous day, was still more unfortunate, only 15 marks being put down opposite his name. Lient.- Colonel Baker (Cambridge University), Sergeant Martin Smith (Victories), Lient, Hawker (2d South Middlesex), and Corporal Pell (lons of Court) made very steady shooting all through the ranges, and the aggregate scores of the two former were higher than any obtained on the Scotch side. But whereas there were four on the English side whose total scores fell short of 114, there was only one Scotchman whose marks were below that number. The actual mi jority for Scotland was 25, a result which, it will be seen, the efforts of the Messrs. Ross and Mr. Wilken mainly contributed to bring about. It is said that in the next competition an eff trt will be --I- *,, hrinc, nn an Irish pinta worthy of their rivals, and thus to complete the international cha racter of the match. One would imagine that with the many excellent rifle clubs in the north of Ire land, and the love of sport pervading all classes in that country, there ought to be no difficulty, among the higher classes, at all events, in making up a con tingent which would show creditably at Wimbledon. The competition for the Mont Storm prizes was continued during the day, and continued to excite very general interest. It was evident from the manner in which the rifle was handled by the vari ous competitors that scarcely any of them had pre vious a knowledge n i c i i ti w m l e b d e g r e o f o f roundst he we i it weapon. Many fired away a re the specified time, scar cely making a hit at all ; others, aiming very deliberately , f ailed to appreciate the full advantages g which a breech-loading rifle is calculated to afford. The exceptional case of Sergeant Brook, of the 12th Middlesex, was on this account the more remarkable. In addition to firing off 13 rounds within the allotted two minutes, he made the goo d score of 31 points. The eubject of breech- loaders is evidently one of increasing interest, for Si r C . For b es h as o ff ere d as prizes, which will be shot for to-day, a Snider's rifle and one by an inventor named Joslyn, both on the breech -loading principle. The Marquis of Tweed dale's prize of £lOO, open to gunmakers, will be shot for on Monday next, it having been found im possible to include that Competition with the busi ness of the present week. In the course of the afternoon a lamentable accident occurred, which cast a deep gloom over the remainder of the day's proceedings. In its five years' experi ence of Wimbledon, and wiTh the millions of shots fired at its ranges, the Association had never known any experience of gunshot wounds more serious caus ed by t h an thew caused of lead from the targets last year. Yesterd a y, un f or t u nately, was the first blac k da y in its calendar, and the event acquired a more melancholyl interest from the atten dant circumstances. t seems that at the pool tar gets, 500 yar ds range, firing was not immediately resumed after luncheon hour, but several minutes elapsed before any one presented himself to shoot at that range. When some Volunteers did arrive all course ! the danger flags o f were flying, and the markers were out of their hot s at the other end of the range talking to one another. The officer in co mmand of the fi rin g point gave orders to wave the red flags as a signal to the markers to retire to their huts. His orders were obeyed, and the markers be ing rather slow in obeying them he had turned to some one who had attracted his attention, when he heard a shot imme diately behind him, and, looking round an Echo screen to see 'Whence it proceeded, di scov ered that a rifle had been discharged by one of the sergeant instructors of musketry with a view to attract the attention This of the mark ers an d t o h as t en their movements. proceeding was a breach of all regulations, but i n extenuation of such act it is alleged that extreme eaa es have been known in which a rifle shot has been employ e d as a means of communication. Be this a s it may, a commotion at the other end of the ra ng? WEIS visible only too soon, and a melancholy procession was shortly on its way to the hospital tent. It seems from the account given by the other markers that as th e y were stand ing about near the targets without any occupation the wounded man, Private H. Cooper, of the Cold stream Guards, began t o collect bullets which had the . only gone through his target, one of pasteboard at that range, and lodged in the butt behind. His comrades called to him to get back to his hut when the signals were tni4de from the firing point, as they of coarse could not take down their danger flags till he was under eaver.
